Pre-Health Professions Pre-Medicine – Allopathic/Osteopathic, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Podiatry, Pre-Physician's Assistant, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, and Pre-Occupational Therapy

Admission into any of the health professions is very competitive. Students should maintain a high grade point average, obtain leadership skills and exposure to the health profession of interest and make a strong showing on their test scores (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, OAT, or GRE). Although it is not necessary to obtain a baccalaureate degree to gain entrance into some of the health professions, it is highly recommended. Programs leading to the BA or the BS degree in a variety of majors are suitable although most students select a major in biological sciences or chemistry. When registering, such students must indicate their choice of degree-granting major, and declare Pre- (identify health profession) as a second major. It is recommended that the program be enriched with electives in social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and fine arts. All students interested in a career in a health profession should consult with the Pre-Health Professions Advisor for information regarding specific admission requirements. More information concerning these programs at EIU is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~premed/.

Most of the health professions will expect one year of each of the following; English, Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. Many will also expect Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Statistics, Microbiology, and Biochemistry. Be sure to check the health profession of choice for their specific requirements.

Pre-Nursing

311

Eastern Illinois University has a cooperative Baccalaureate in Nursing program with Lakeview College of Nursing. This arrangement allows students to pursue their BSN from Lakeview College of Nursing while having the convenience of remaining on Eastern’s campus during all four years of their studies. EIU provides general education, prerequisite courses and advisement for pre-nursing students until they are accepted into Lakeview’s program. Lakeview then delivers (through distance learning or on-site instructors) nursing courses to the EIU campus. When enrolled in the Lakeview program, students pay tuition to Lakeview. The degree is awarded from Lakeview College of Nursing. More information concerning this program at EIU is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~premed/.

Chiropractic Medicine

Eastern Illinois University has entered into a “3+3” affiliation agreement with Logan College of Chiropractic and Palmer College of Chiropractic. Both programs offer guaranteed admissions for qualified students to attend after 3 years (90 credits) at Eastern and finish a doctor of Chiropractic degree after 3 additional years at Logan or Palmer. Students who successfully complete the Pre-Chiropractic Program at EIU with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and meet all other criteria for admission shall be accepted at Palmer or Logan Colleges. Upon completion of the first year of studies at Logan and Palmer, a maximum of 34 credits may be transferred back to EIU toward completion of credits required for the Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences degree at Eastern. More information concerning this program at EIU is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~premed/.

Pre-Medicine – Allopathic/Osteopathic, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Podiatry, Pre-Physician's Assistant, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, and Pre-Occupational Therapy

Admission into any of the health professions is very competitive. Students should maintain a high grade point average, obtain leadership skills and exposure to the health profession of interest and make a strong showing on their test scores (MCAT, DAT, PCAT, OAT, or GRE). Although it is not necessary to obtain a baccalaureate degree to gain entrance into some of the health professions, it is highly recommended. Programs leading to the BA or the BS degree in a variety of majors are suitable although most students select a major in biological sciences or chemistry. When registering, such students must indicate their choice of degree-granting major, and declare Pre- (identify health profession) as a second major. It is recommended that the program be enriched with electives in social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and fine arts. All students interested in a career in a health profession should consult with the Pre-Health Professions Advisor for information regarding specific admission requirements. More information concerning these programs at EIU is available at http://www.eiu.edu/~premed/.

Most of the health professions will expect one year of each of the following; English, Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Physics. Many will also expect Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Statistics, Microbiology, and Biochemistry. Be sure to check the health profession of choice for their specific requirements.

Engineering (B.S.) Total hours to degree: 90 (total does not include completion of required engineering degree elsewhere)

(See also "Pre-Engineering Program")

This cooperative degree program, administered by the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee, requires about three years of work at EIU followed by two years of work at either the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) or Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC). It is designed to provide engineering students with a broader base of liberal arts than is usually given in a four-year curriculum. Upon completion of the program, the student receives a Bachelor of Science degree from EIU and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from UIUC or SIUC. Interested students should consult with the chairperson of the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee for detailed requirements of the program.

After completing 60 semester hours in this curriculum, a student may apply to the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee for admission as an engineering candidate. The requirements for admission as an engineering candidate are a minimum grade point average of 2.50 for UIUC (2.00 for SIUC) and approval by the committee. Continuation as an engineering candidate includes meeting the transfer requirements of the College of Engineering at UIUC or SIUC.

A student who transfers into this curriculum from another college or university must be in residence at EIU for at least one semester before he/she becomes eligible for admission as an engineering candidate.

Core Requirements

Total:   73-89 semester hours with elective credit to bring the total to 90 semester hours.

Students completing cooperative degree programs, i.e., Engineering and Clinical Laboratory Sciences, will not be required to take a senior seminar.

1 This course should be repeated each semester that a student attends Eastern. In the case of course conflicts with this course, a waiver should be obtained from the Chair of the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee.

3812 Students are encouraged to take all of these courses, but one or more may not be required in certain engineering fields. SIUC electrical engineering majors take PHY 3410 instead of AET 2043.

3 These courses should be selected in consultation with the chairperson of the Pre-Engineering Studies Committee to ensure that Eastern's General Education requirements and UIUC or SIUC requirements are both fulfilled. ECN 2801G is highly recommended in the Social and Behavioral Sciences since it is required in some UIUS and SIUC Engineering Programs.
